The General Assembly Raised Bill No. 5582 proposes amendments to a prior conveyance of state land to the town of Stratford. The bill allows the Commissioner of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Commissioner of Developmental Services, to convey a parcel of land located at 300 Armory Road in Stratford to the town. This conveyance will occur at a cost equal to the administrative expenses associated with the transfer. The bill specifies that the Department of Developmental Services will retain a portion of the parcel for administrative offices and parking until a subsequent conveyance is made. Additionally, the bill mandates that a written agreement be established between the town and the relevant departments regarding the operation and maintenance of both the conveyed and retained portions of the land.

The bill also outlines conditions under which the town of Stratford must use the reconstituted parcel for municipal and affordable housing purposes. If the town fails to meet these conditions, such as not using the parcel for the specified purposes or leasing it out improperly, the land will revert to the state. The State Properties Review Board is tasked with reviewing the conveyance within thirty days of receiving the proposed agreement, and the land will remain under the care of the Department of Developmental Services until the conveyance is finalized. The bill includes several insertions and deletions to clarify the terms of the conveyance and the responsibilities of the involved parties.
